I didn’t say that technology can’t fix this, I’m just saying that you’re talking about a complex, physical, adaptive, human in-the-loop system. It doesn’t get much harder than that. You can automat every single part of it, but there’s still human passengers involved so it only takes one asshole to cause a gate delay. There’s no such thing as a perfect system for this. There is better, but there’s not perfect.
And that’s why we’re in this position to begin with… until someone comes along to disrupt it.
